14 de setembro de 2026 atualizado por: Desiree R. Azizoddin PsyD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
This study is being done to determine the feasibility and acceptability of Healing Gardens, a standalone mobile health serious game designed to deliver pain-CBT and cancer pain education to help patients with advanced cancer manage chronic pain.

Visão geral do estudo

Descrição detalhada

This is a single-site, interventional feasibility/pilot study evaluating Healing Gardens, a technology-based serious game intervention designed to deliver pain-CBT and cancer pain education for patients with advanced cancer and chronic pain. The study is intended to refine the intervention and establish its initial feasibility, acceptability, and usability through Cohort A content refinement/user acceptability testing and Cohort B pre-pilot testing.

Study procedures include screening and recruitment from DFCI outpatient oncology and palliative care clinics and DFCI satellite clinics at South Shore Health; baseline assessments; medical record abstraction; qualitative interviews and optional focus group/community advisory board activities for Cohort A; usability and acceptability surveys for both cohorts; and, for Cohort B, at-home use of the Healing Gardens game for up to 12 weeks with study contacts to address technical issues and complete end-of-study assessments. Study procedures may be conducted in person, by phone, or through secure HIPAA-compliant video platforms.

It is expected that up to 46 participants will take part in this study, including up to 25 participants in Cohort A and up to 21 participants in Cohort B.

Participation length varies by cohort. Cohort A participants will complete a 30-60 minute interview/user acceptability testing session and may optionally participate in community advisory board meetings up to twice monthly during Year 1. Cohort B participants will test the game at home for up to 12 weeks and complete baseline and end-of-study assessments and a 30-60 minute semi-structured interview. Overall subject accrual and participation are expected to occur over approximately 29 months. There is no long-term follow-up for this study.

This is a DF/HCC PI-sponsored study with funding/support listed from Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute/NIH/DHHS (R34CA308746, pending).

O que o estudo está medindo?

Medidas de resultados primários

Medida de resultado
Descrição da medida
Prazo
Mean Score of Acceptability E-Scale
Prazo: At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks)
Acceptability E-scale is a 6-item self-reported measure of participant acceptability of the intervention. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, yielding a total score ranging from 6 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability of the intervention. The intervention will be considered acceptable if the mean score exceeds 24 out of 30. (Tariman et al., Appl Nurs Res 2011)
At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks)
Mean Score of System Usability Survey (SUS)
Prazo: At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks)
SUS is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess the usability of the intervention. SUS is scored on a scale 0-100 with higher scores representing better acceptability. A score of 75 or higher is deemed acceptable.
At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks)
Module Completion Rate
Prazo: At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks)
Module completion rate is defined as the proportion of participants who complete at least 75% of intervention modules (4 of 5 modules).
At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks)
Recruitment Success Rate
Prazo: During the 12-month enrollment period beginning in Year 2 of the study.
Recruitment success rate is defined as the proportion of months during the enrollment period in which at least 8 participants provided informed consent.
During the 12-month enrollment period beginning in Year 2 of the study.
Retention Rate
Prazo: At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks after enrollment, with enrollment beginning in Year 2).
Retention rate is defined as the proportion of participants who complete the follow-up assessments and provide study data.
At completion of the participant's game testing period (up to 12 weeks after enrollment, with enrollment beginning in Year 2).
